macbeads2

• construct
  • cylinder
  • other basic basic shapes
  • translate move
  • rotate
  • expanding the surface
• add to existing model (pdb, somo, etc)
• input to dmd or move it about
• look at google sketch up for ideas
  • get email from olwyn

AtoB could also be used to construct de novo a bead model to represent
any three-dimensional shape via a combination of geometric operations (including
e.g. add a new bead, delete a bead, move a bead or a subset of beads by a defined
distance on x, y, and / or z-space, rotate a bead or a subset of beads about a defined
origin or axis, create a circular array of defined radius of touching beads, expand
a bead or a subset of beads). This functionality will shortly be re-introduced
to AtoB together with an alternative "drag and drop" tool in the GUI (E. Brookes,
personal communication). The coordinates of the finalised model can then be introduced
to US-SOMO or HYDRO++ for hydrodynamic computation.
